Mining technology students from Cégep de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue visit the Wasamac underground mining project site

On September 30, a group of mining technology students from the Cégep de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue visited the Wasamac underground mining project site together with some Yamana staff and the firm responsible for the field work (WSP) as part of the environmental impact study which is currently underway.

During this visit, the group was able, among other things, to observe the installation of wells, geotechnical drilling, the taking of groundwater samples and other components of the environmental impact study.

The purpose of this exercise was to bridge the gap between the practical fieldwork and the theoretical knowledge of the students acquired during their "Groundwater dynamics" course in which they are enrolled. They will also have to produce a report on the learning achieved during their visit.

he Yamana Gold team thanks the students and their teacher for taking part in this process and wishes them success in their pursuit of their studies in the field of mining!
